A delightful stay, close to Clifford's Tower
The house is beautiful -- all the beds were comfy and everything was in spit-spot condition. We were worried that the dining room/loft might be cramped for our party of 8, but it was just fine -- we enjoyed all our meals and many hours of playing board games there in the evenings as well. Be aware the many stairs are (as advertised) narrow and fairly steep, so you won't want to be running up and down them all day long. Also, it took us a while to find the hook to open up the skylights in the top floor bedrooms, which made the first night rather hot and stuff but once we did locate it, it cooled the whole house considerably. (A note about this in the otherwise comprehensive guest handbook would be helpful!)
The neighborhood is quiet and charming; our party (which included three children) never felt unsafe even when walking home after dark. We'd also like to commend the local high street shops - - the butcher, green grocer and baker were the best we encountered during our four weeks in England.
The only negative comment we have is that the washing machine had obviously been used by a previous but then left closed and not properly cleaned out/aired because there was a mold/mildew growing inside the door seal.
